Chapter 486: Wonderful Apprentice
Without credits, it will be difficult to cultivate in Ten Thousand Souls Mountain.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Souls has a unified set of standards for recruiting disciples, and there will be some basic credits as the starting credits for disciples.
Once the credits are exhausted and the credits cannot be replenished, it is likely to become a vicious circle and lead to a dead end.
Sun Hao's basic credits reached three hundred and twenty points, more than double that of ordinary students, Sun Hao calculated, these credits are enough to satisfy himself in the Instrument Spirit Hall to study and cultivate for about a year, more than a year, he has to find a way again.
There are more than 20,000 white-collar disciples, and there are only three hundred on the side of the Instrument Spirit Palace, among them, most of them are disciples who have failed to cultivate other soul halls and are trying to learn a craft and change cultivation.
There is no credit reward for refining apprentices.
After joining the Instrument Spirit Palace, Sun Hao became an apprentice of refining weapons and began to formally and systematically practice refining weapons.
The first lesson, Ten Thousand Souls Mountain, the hall master of the Instrument Spirit Palace, Master Luo, gave a lecture in person, and slowly opened Sun Hao's refining career.
The refiner apprentice can only refine mortal swords or farm tools, the first-level refiner can refine magic weapons, the second-level refiner can refine spiritual weapons, and after the third-level refiner, he can be called a refining master and can refine magic weapons.
Master Luo is shorter, slightly fat, with a fair face, his hair is neatly combed, meticulous, and he lectures to the students with a smile on his face: "Punishment type Fan Zheng, Jin Ximei, Gongye skill, fire Qi Medicine, dissect and Mo evil." However I do not peel it off. Not strong. The rope cannot be broken; If you are strong, you will be in a bowl, and the cow and horse will suddenly ......"
At the beginning, Master Luo described several major steps in refining weapons.
According to Master Luo, refining tools can be divided into seven steps: "modeling, dispensing, smelting, casting, scraping, repairing, and cutting".
Depending on the equipment being refined, each step has different requirements.
As Master Luo began to speak, Sun Hao discovered that refining tools were compared to alchemy. It has a distinct personality, alchemy is more standardized, and the refining is more public.
Although Master Luo listed the seven major steps of refining weapons, these seven steps were only very general steps and were only suitable for most instruments.
In fact, the refining of many instruments does not need to complete these seven steps, but the refining of many instruments must follow the seven-step procedure.
Compared with the more standardized steps of alchemy, refining tools are undoubtedly more diverse.
Of course, it's not that said. Alchemy will be easier than refining, and the difficulty of alchemy lies in the Danfang. lies in more refined control, in comparison, as far as Sun Hao is currently in contact with, the accuracy requirements of refining tools are much lower.
The refining tool is very personalized, those who can refine the sword may not be able to refine the knife well, and those who can refine the knife must also strengthen their learning if they want to refine the hammer well.
Because of the need to repair the agarwood sword, and because the sword is one of the main tools in the mainland, Sun Hao first learned the way of sword refining.
Start by refining swords and practice your own way of refining.
The "seven steps" of refining weapons mentioned by Master Luo are precisely based on the refining steps summarized in sword refining.
After Master Luo finished teaching, he drifted away, and the white-collar disciples, according to their own needs, studied on their own, and practiced the art of refining weapons by themselves, of course, if they wanted to refine weapons, materials or something, they had to be exchanged for credits.
After listening to Master Luo's lecture, Sun Hao did not rush to do it, but calmed down and carefully studied the records of the Spirit Hall on sword refining.
For more than a month, most of this group of white-collar disciples have begun to refine weapons, and three or five disciples with a good foundation have successfully advanced to the first-level refiner, and after obtaining 100 credits, Sun Hao put down the refining experience in his hand, entered the "sword room", and started his own refining.
The Sword Chamber, also known as the "Sword Furnace", is a stone hall. Extremely high and wide, from back to front, according to the "heaven, earth and man" divided into three in.
The sword room is divided into two layers, surrounded by fire-resistant kiln bricks, and the inside is like a private house, with copper beams and stone pillars, and there is an "inner furnace" for fire forging. It is said that when a fierce sword is born, there are often living people who die "to die for the sword." ”
Learn to refine the sword, first learn to make a model.
Patterning, that is, making a model for casting. The sword fan is mostly shaped with mud, and then put into the kiln to be dried by fire, and then trimmed, the texture is like pottery, so it is called clay fan or pottery fan.
The model is based on the shape design of the sword, and whether the sword is regular and coordinated, symmetrical and beautiful depends on whether the model is fine.
Secular craftsmen refine swords, and the model must also lay the foundation for future decoration, such as the patterns and famous words cast on the sword body, which must be carved out on the inner wall of the sword fan in advance.
There are two difficulties and key points in the cultivation of the sword, one of which is the quality of the model, that is, the quality of the clay sculpture is very important.
In Wansoul Mountain, clay sculpture is the standard configuration, there is no choice, and second, the inscription of the pattern is also the most important.
The pattern of the weapon is related to scraping and repairing, hanging the river and repairing, in fact, it gives the sword a unique performance, and the texture is actually equivalent to a rune, solidifying certain abilities such as "amplified attack", "increased speed", "additional fire damage"...... and so on the strange ability on top of the sword.
If you can't make a model, the lines are too messy and messy, even if your ability to scrape and repair is strong, you can't refine the sword.
This step, other monks do not find it difficult, according to the gourd to draw the scoop, all kinds of swords have a variety of unique patterns, painting is to be familiar with three or five days.
However, after Sun Hao began to refine his sword, he found that this step was not easy.
Sun Hao found that the lines within the mud fan should also be a kind of rune to be precise. And it is also a rune that is the opposite of yin and yang.
Sun Hao, who is accustomed to writing runes on the front, is really not used to this kind of writing method of yin and yang opposites for a while.
At the same time, 300 white-collar disciples, the step of making a model can be as fast as three or five days, and as slow as ten days, and they can produce a more standardized clay model.
However, Sun Hao's step was stuck for three months.
This made the white-collar disciples of the same period exclaim.
At this time, among the three hundred white-collar disciples, more than one hundred disciples had successfully advanced to the first-level refiner.
Of course, it is easy to become a first-level refiner, but to become a second-level refiner, it will take a long, long time.
This group of disciples are all selected from the Island of Ten Thousand Souls by the Ten Thousand Souls Palace, and their cultivation is not all outstanding, and many disciples still have a refining foundation, otherwise, they would not have become refiners within four months.
For three months, Sun Hao worked hard to make a fan.
I don't know how many mud embryos have been broken.
The instructor of the Instrument Spirit Hall shook his head, and the tutor of the Sword Room, Wang Hui, even wanted to persuade Sun Hao to transfer to the hall, he felt that Sun Hao really had no talent for refining, and Sun Hao was a waste of cultivation resources like this.
The mud embryo took more than 30 credits, is there any?
Such a disciple should be transferred to another temple to be appropriate.
In the second month, when Sun Hao practiced the second month of the model, Wang Hui couldn't help it.
Holding Sun Hao's bad mud fan, he found Master Luo: "Master, look at it, look at it, this kid has refined a mud embryo again, master, the miscellaneous disciples below have all put forward their opinions, since there is more Sun Hao, they have mined mud several times more frequently than before, this Sun Hao ......"
Before he finished speaking, Master Luo made a move casually, and the refined mud fan fell into his hand, and his divine sense swept away, Master Luo was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, this Sun Hao, it's very good, let him practice it, as for the miscellaneous disciples, if you don't do it, you will leave, and I will not be able to do the miscellaneous servants in the Ten Thousand Souls Palace?"
Okay, Wang Hui died down, he didn't understand, where is Sun Hao's clay embryo good?
If Master Luo hadn't explained that Sun Hao's matter needed his personal nod before he could decide, Wang Hui would have swept Sun Hao out of the house a long time ago.
Writing runes that are opposite to yin and yang is a whole new experience.
Not only should it be written well, but it also needs to be engraved on the clay model after it is written.
Not only must it be engraved well, but it must also be carved well, and it cannot be deformed when baked in the kiln.
These elements are not easy to achieve.
Fan is the foundation of sword refining, and Sun Hao, who has always attached importance to his basic skills, stayed in the sword room and spent it with the clay embryos.
It takes three months.
Finally, Sun Hao completely understood the standardized operation of this step.
Wang Hui no longer cares about Sun Hao, and Master Luo rarely pays direct attention to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao was silent, and made the first sword fan that he thought was more standardized, on top of this sword fan, Sun Hao engraved two runes, and the effect was to gain attack strength and gain speed, which was a more practical sword weapon buff.
In the eyes of the other white-collar disciples shaking their heads, Sun Hao happily started the second step of his refining.
Transfers. (To be continued......)
